ReplyCopy URLASTEROID CITY
A film by Wes Anderson
Only in theaters June 16 pic.twitter.com/gbT8MiJLRH— Asteroid City (@AsteroidCity) March 29, 2023
what do you think of the holodvers awards chances some people are comparing it to the green book but Payne doesn’t make movies like that lmao
Seems baity enough and it looks way better than Green Book but it remains to be seen. I expect the best from Giamatti. He really elevates any material.
ReplyCopy URLOne of the questions on my mind for Best Picture 2023 is: where are Disney’s contenders? Across WDP, 20th, and Searchlight, the roster looks thin.
Reviews for Chevalier are good but not that good. Reviews for Magazine Dreams are better but it sounds like a harrowing watch, which would have made it a tough sell for Best Picture even without the Jonathan Majors situation.
Pixar films used to get into the expanded BP slate, but they’ve fallen off in recent years and Elemental doesn’t look likely to reverse that trend.
Marvel and Lucasfilm–I guess Guardians of the Galaxy 3 or Dial of Destiny could get in if they’re really, really good and if they make Top Gun: Maverick levels of money. But it’s hard to imagine them going where their immediate predecessors didn’t, in terms of the Oscars.
Can’t rule out True Love but we know nothing at all about it. Maybe that’s a sign of confidence? Or maybe the opposite.
So I’m left reserving a BP slot for Next Goal Wins, the only one on the slate that I can see getting a BP nom without doing too many mental gymnastics. But even then, it seems like a “Picture, Screenplay, and that’s it” kind of nominee, doesn’t it? Where else would it get nominated?
Weird year for Disney.

There’s also Poor Things from Searchlight and the Bikeriders from 20th century<p style=”text-align: right;”>

There’s also Poor Things from Searchlight and the Bikeriders from 20th centuryGood call on The Bikeriders! It passed me by that that was 20th. Poor Things, I have to admit, I was dismissing out of hand as too weird for BP–but maybe that’s not a thing anymore!
ReplyCopy URLThe Academy is reportedly thinking of potentially adding a new theatrical distribution requirement for films to be eligible for Best Picture at the Oscars.
Films will need to play in theaters in 15 or 20 of the top 50 markets in the US to be eligible.

Everything Everywhere All At Once in every eligible category
Hold My Hand - Lady Gaga for Best Original Song
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Streamers shouldn’t just get to have them in theaters in LA and NY for a couple weeks and qualify for Oscars. It should be a bit more across the country.

In terms of helping out the theater industry, there’s a lot of value in this concept. It will prevent nonsense like The Son being in like 2 theaters for 1 week just so it can qualify for 2022. Streamers should pay their fair share. Releasing something like Don’t Look Up or Power of the Dog a month prior to its streaming release could even help a lot of struggling local indie/arthouse theaters. The only downside is that it might not help the international or really indie films out there. Would something like Drive My Car, which opened in November & only increased theaters because of awards buzz, have been able to qualify if it had been a later release?
ReplyCopy URLDo we know whether this new rule would apply only to qualifying for Best Picture Oscar nominations, or would it also apply to Acting and Directing nominations, etc. If the proposed new rule is also applied to the acting categories, a performance like Andrea Riseborough’s would never have qualified for a nomination.

IMDb was updated today: Blitz wrapped filming this week and is now in post production.
We still don’t know whether the movie will be completed in time to be involved in this year’s awards season. Given that Killers of the Flower Moon has finally been completed, Apple might want to hold Blitz for next year. But with this news, it seems at least possible that Blitz and Steve McQueen should be added to prediction lists that have omitted them. We’ll see.
